51 Tongue Twisters In English To Perfect Your Pronunciation

Tongue twisters in English are free speaking tools you can use at any time to improve your English pronunciation.

Think about it.

Tongue twisters challenge you to make similar sounds one after the other. They force you to say sounds that may be challenging for you. They can also show you which sounds you should practise more.

Most of all, tongue twisters in English are fun! I’ve selected just over 50 tongue twisters in English for you.  

For each one, I’ll tell you which sound they help you with. I’ll give you the level of difficulty too (easy, medium, or challenging). 

If there are any tricky words (which happens a lot in tongue twisters in English), I’ll explain what they mean. I’ll also give you some specific pronunciation tips for some of these and some more general ones at the end.

Get your tongue ready. 

Let’s go!

1. She Sells Seashells By The Seashore

Sounds 

/s/ and /ʃ/ – Spanish speakers and many international speakers of English have trouble with these two sounds.

Difficulty: Medium

Tricky vocabulary

• Seashells: shells of small creatures that live in the sea. 
• Seashore: the land along the edge of the sea.

Pronunciation tip

To make the /s/ sound, smile and let the air flow out over your tongue. For the /ʃ/ bring your lips slightly forward. This should make your tongue move forward too. Let the air flow out while the sides of your tongue touch your lower teeth.

2. She Sees Cheese

Sounds 

/s/, /tʃ/, and /ʃ/

Difficulty: Easy

Pronunciation tip

To make the /ʧ/ sound, press the tip of your tongue against the back of your top teeth and the sides against your upper side teeth. Briefly stop the air and then release it. 

3. How Can A Clam Cram In A Clean Cream Can?

Sounds

/k/ and consonant cluster /kl/ (a consonant cluster is a group of consonant sounds) 

Difficulty: Medium

Tricky vocabulary

• Clam: a shellfish that can be eaten. 
• To cram: to move into a small space and make it full.

Pronunciation tip

To make the /k/ sound, place the back of your tongue against the soft part of the roof of your mouth. Draw air from your lungs to your mouth. You should feel that the air is blocked by your tongue. Release the air by lowering your tongue. This creates a little explosion of air (the /k/ sound).

4. A Skunk Sat On A Stump…

A skunk sat on a stump and thunk the stump stunk, but the stump thunk the skunk stunk.

Sounds

Consonant cluster /sk/ and /st/

Difficulty: Challenging

Tricky vocabulary

• A skunk: a small black and white animal that makes a strong unpleasant smell to defend itself when it is attacked.
• A stump: The bottom part of a tree left in the ground after the rest has fallen or been cut down.
• thunk: a ‘fake' past simple form of the verb “to think”, to make this tongue twister rhyme!
• Stunk: The past participle of “stink” (to have a strong, unpleasant smell) 

This tongue twister doesn’t make much sense, so don’t worry too much about what it means.

Pronunciation tip

Can you say this as fast as you can?

5. How Much Wood Would A Woodchuck Chuck…?

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Sounds

/tʃ/ and /w/

Difficulty: Challenging

Tricky vocabulary

• A woodchuck: a small animal from the squirrel family
• To chuck:  an informal way to say “to throw something carelessly or without much thought.”

Pronunciation tip

To make the /w/ sound, bring your lips forward as if you wanted to whistle. Then let the air flow out while keeping your lips rounded. 

6. Which Witch Is Which? 

Sounds

/tʃ/ and /w/

Difficulty: Easy

Tricky vocabulary

• A witch: A woman who is believed to have evil powers. You may have seen her in stories. She wears a black hat and flies on a broomstick.

Pronunciation tip

Don’t pronounce the “t” in “witch” – it’s silent! So “witch” and “which” are pronounced exactly in the same way. We call these homophones: two (or more) words that have the same pronunciation but different meanings, origins, or spelling.

7. A Big Black Bear Sat On A Big Black Rug 

Sounds

/b/, consonant cluster /bl/, and the vowel sound /æ/

Difficulty: Easy

Tricky vocabulary

• A rug: a small carpet that’s used for covering or decorating part of a floor

Pronunciation tip

To make the /b/ sound, draw air from your lungs and stop it with your lips. Then release it adding your voice. 

The /æ/ sound may be tricky too. This is a sound that sits between the /e/ sound, the one you find in the word “pet” /pet/, and the /ʌ/ sound, the one you find in the word “cut” /kʌt/.

The secret to making the /æ/ sound is to lower your jaw just enough to avoid making the /e/ sound. If you lower it too much you’ll produce the /ʌ/ sound. Find a sweet spot in the middle. 

8. Nine Nice Night Nurses Nursing Nicely

Sounds

/n/ and /ai/

Difficulty: Easy

Tricky vocabulary

• To nurse: “Nurse” is also a verb that means “to care for somebody who is ill or injured.”  

Pronunciation tip

Make the /n/ sound by pressing the tip of your tongue against your upper front teeth. Allow the air to flow out through your nose while keeping your mouth closed. To check if you’re making this sound correctly, pinch your nose. If you hear nothing, you’re doing great!

9. I Saw A Kitten Eating Chicken In The Kitchen

Sounds

/k/ and /tʃ/

Difficulty: Easy

Tricky vocabulary

• A kitten: a baby cat

10. He Threw Three Free Throws

Sounds

The infamous “th” /θ/ sound the whole world struggles with.

Difficulty: Medium

Tricky vocabulary

• A free throw: In basketball, a free throw is the equivalent of a penalty kick in football (soccer).

Pronunciation tip

Put your tongue between your teeth. Don’t stick it out too much. That’s the secret to making the “th” sound.

11. Black Back Bat

Sounds

/b/ and /æ/

Difficulty: Easy

12. I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream For Ice Cream

Sounds

Consonant cluster /skr/ and long vowel sound /iː/

Difficulty: Easy

13. If A Dog Chews Shoes, Whose Shoes Does He Choose?

Sounds

/tʃ/ and /ʃ/

Difficulty: Medium

Pronunciation tip

The position of your lips and jaw is the same when pronouncing the sounds /tʃ/ and /ʃ/. What makes these different is the quick little movement your tongue will make when pronouncing the /tʃ/ sound.

14. I Slit The Sheet, The Sheet I Slit, And On The Slitted Sheet I Sit

Sounds

/ʃ/, /s/, /iː/ and /i/

Difficulty: Medium

This is a great tongue twister for you if you have trouble differentiating the long vowel sounds /iː/ from the short /i/, and the consonant sound /ʃ/ from /s/. Practice saying this tongue twister slowly, trying to control the movement of your mouth and teeth as much as you can.

15. An Ape Hates Grape Cakes

Sounds

The diphthong /eɪ/

Difficulty: Easy

Pronunciation tip

If you’re a Chinese speaker, you might find this tongue twister particularly challenging. Make sure you lower your jaw and then raise it back to make the two vowel sounds that form the diphthong. 

16. Peter Piper Picked A Peck Of Pickled Peppers

This is actually longer. The full tongue twister is the following:

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.

If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,

Pronunciation tip

Arabic speakers, remember that the /p/ sound is unvoiced. If you use your voice, you’ll make a /b/ sound.

Difficulty: Medium

Tricky vocabulary

• A fritter: a piece of fruit, meat or vegetable that is covered with batter (a mixture of eggs, milk, and flour) and fried.

To make the /l/ sound open your mouth and put the tip of your tongue behind your top teeth. Then let air flow out the sides of your tongue. Add your voice and you should have the sound. 

To make the /r/ sound, curl your tongue and touch the middle of your palate (the roof of your mouth) with it. Then let air flow out the sides.

24. If One Doctor Doctors…

This is long!

How To Practise Tongue Twisters In English: 11 Tips

Here’s a quick list of tips:

• Practice tongue twisters in English as often as you can. While brushing your teeth, while driving to work, while cooking – any time you can and wherever you can. Consistency is key to learning English so don't be an inconsistency villain.
• Practise them with other people and challenge each other. Practise with your kids (most of the tongue twisters in this list are also tongue twisters in English for kids), with your friends, with your mom. Anyone can become your tongue twister partner!
• Focus on a tongue twister you find really challenging. Stay with it until you’ve mastered it. Then move on to the next tricky one.
• Use a mirror and notice how your tongue, lips, and jaws move. Become aware of how you make the sounds and why you can’t make certain sounds.
• Use tongue twisters as a warm-up exercise before engaging in other speaking activities (conversations, meetings, etc.). This can help you loosen your tongue and become more confident.
• Practise a tongue twister as slowly as you can.
• Practise a tongue twister as fast as you can.
• Sing them!
• Memorise them.
• Have an AI tool pronounce them. Record yourself and compare your version with that of the robot. Find more tips like this in my post about how to speak English fluently.
• Invent one yourself! Include all the sounds (such as minimal pairs) you find hard to pronounce.

And finally…have fun! Lots of fun! If you’re not having fun, stop what you’re doing and go do something fabulously fun!

Reading my books of short stories in English is a great way to learn English while having fun. And if you listen and read at the same time, you'll improve your pronunciation too.
